The fact that such a huge number of New Jerseyans selected a shutdown-supporting, extremist member of the Republican caucus instead of Booker should give our new Senator some pause for thought. Booker should start doing some substantive legislating and stop behaving like a candidate in a reality TV series. Cut back on the fun runs and gonzo stunts and expand your donor base among regular joes instead of oligarchs and bankers.
